200 fifth graders from all 14 partnering divisions are invited to Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School on Saturday, April 19th  to attend 6 exciting workshops on coding, math, languages, art, drama, creative writing, and more! Note: Gifted coordinators from our partnering divisions agreed to a specific number of invitations based on their current number of seats.

A special shout-out to the teachers and student leaders who have volunteered their time for one of our amazing sessions and fun activities, like face-painting and balloon animals, during the break.
